About 14 LGA secretariats in Osun State had started operations as of 10 a.m. on Wednesday, with the chairman and council members chosen in the October 15, 2022, local government election having taken office.
Checks showed that the chairmen and council members, together with several APC members, had returned to the local government secretariats in Ila, Ede South, Ife Central, Ife East, Ife North, Ilesa East, Ilesa West, Boripe, Oriade, and Obokun.
They also resumed in the local government secretariats in Ejigbo, Iwo, Ayedire, and Boripe.
Jamiu Olawumi, the former Special Advisor to the Governor on Education, noted that the chairmen and council members at the 14 Local Government Secretariat resumed at around 10 a.m.
Olawumi said that there hasn’t been any violence reported as of now.
“We have 14 as of 10 am. They are Ila, Ede South, Ife Central, Ife East, Ife North, Ilesa East, Ilesa West, Boripe, Oriade and Obokun.
“Ejigbo, Iwo, Ayedire and Boripe. Security was top-notch. Members of the police tactical team, an armed squad of civil defence, and DSS are all present around the secretariat. We commend Governor Adeleke, but that is not enough.

“They should take away thugs they brought here. They have them in town. If you move around, you will see different faces that you have not seen here. They should not encourage those militants and cultists to kill the Osun people.
“It is dawn on them that the judgment is enforceable. The governor should attempt to see the President, Chief of Staff to the President or the IGP. He should do that much for us so that the vision of developing Osun within his current tenure will be achieved.
“Our chairmen and councillors are ready to work with him, though they are different tiers of government,” Olawumi said.
